Temple Trouble by H. Beam Piper audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On a parallel Earth stuck in a Bronze-to-early-medieval age, the Transtemporal Mining Corporation is quietly extracting valuable ores from behind the safest disguise imaginable: religion. Their outpost is the Temple of Yat-Zar, complete with priests, rituals, and a fearsome six-armed idol - all designed to keep local eyes away from the true miracle hidden inside the sanctuary: a paratime conveyor that can jump between probability lines. Resident agent Stranor Sleth has learned to play theologian, diplomat, and company man at once, but his careful balance begins to crack when a local ruler flirts with a rival cult and the priests of a crocodile god, Muz-Azin, start turning popular anger into political power. When sacred animals begin dying and holy authority shifts overnight, the corporation's cover story risks collapsing - and if this timeline learns the truth about paratime travel, the consequences could ripple across countless worlds. Enter Verkan Vall of the Paratime Police, a hard-nosed troubleshooter tasked with protecting the Paratime Secret, even if it means engineering a few miracles of his own.

Space Viking by H. Beam Piper audiobook.

Genre: scifi

The war is over, and the worlds of the Phoenix Cluster are paying the price. Lucas Trask returns home to the planet Tanith to find his people broken by occupation and his wife dead. Refusing to accept a future of quiet ruin, he rallies Tanith's survivors into a hard-edged brotherhood of raiders - the so-called Space Vikings - and launches a campaign across the shattered interstellar frontier. But Trask's crusade is more than vengeance. As he strikes at former enemies and opportunistic rivals, he hunts for the resources, allies, and lost technology that could give Tanith a chance to rebuild in a galaxy where law is fragile and power belongs to whoever can take and hold it.Part military adventure, part political chess match, Space Viking follows Trask as he negotiates uneasy alliances, confronts the ethics of survival by force, and navigates a crumbling civilization still living off the relics of a brighter age. With starship battles, planetfall intrigue, and the constant tension between justice and conquest, Piper delivers a sweeping tale of leadership and the cost of forging a new order from the ashes of the old.

Time Crime by H. Beam Piper audiobook.

Genre: scifi

On a quiet plantation in the Esaron Sector, guard-captain Kiro Soran notices something that should be impossible: a shipment of slaves whose language, customs, and origins do not match the world where they are being sold. His discovery pulls back the curtain on the Paratime Secret, and the Paratime Police move in fast, led by hard-edged professionals who can travel between probability lines but must keep their existence hidden from every timeline they touch. Special Assistant Verkan Vall and Police Chief Tortha Karf face a case that is bigger than a single kidnapping: an organized slave ring operating across worlds, a trail that runs through multiple levels of civilization, and enemies willing to use disguise, hypnosis, and assassination to protect the operation. As the investigation widens, Vall must balance procedure with urgency, because every step taken across time risks contaminating entire histories. Part police procedural and part high-concept adventure, Time Crime explores the moral cost of treating whole realities as resources, and the brutal logic of criminals who believe infinity means no one will ever find them.
